intro
Third Parlophone single from Reading-based group Morning Runner who toured with Coldplay in the summer
This is the third single on Parlophone from Morning Runner, who supported Coldplay on their British dates in the summer, and who also provided influence to them on the direction of 'X and Y'. 'Be All You Want to Be' is fast and has a grungy style. It will appeal to fans of Muse, Radiohead and Starsailor. 'Frayed Edges', it B side, which is the better song, is piano based. It has a classic 70's singer/songwriter vocal from vocalist Matthew Greener and some pleasantly arranged backing harmonies.
